CALLED TO TIME.

The two labor representatives in the Ill
inois legislature, who attended the funeral
of Mrs. NEEBE, the wife Of the anarchist,
and thus demonstrated their sympathy with
the anarchist demonstration, have been very
properly called to account by Mr.. Pow
DERBY on behalf of the Knights of Labor.
He very emphatically discaims any indorse-
ment of the legislators action on the part
of the Knights of Labor. and declares that
in pursuing the line of action they did they
deServ ed the strongest condemnation of the
order. Mr.. PowDERLY recognizes very
clearly that honest labor must not be COM
promised by the association of it's advocates
with persons of anarchist tendencies, and he
readily sees the compromising position into
which the dubious action of the society's
acknowledged representatives would bring
it. Fortunately for the orders future, most
of its members are strongly in accord with
the views expressed by Mr.. PowDERLY. 1t
is to be hoped that it will always be gov
erned by men as conservative in opinion
and prompt in action. The spreading of
anything like sympathy for anarchisn and
its methods among its members would cause
an instant forfeiture of the popular conf
dence and good will that it now holds, and
without that it can accomplish but little

EXPENSIVE ACCIDENTS.

Several years ago there was a serious
railroad accident at Revere. Mass. The
auditor of the railroad company ON whose
line the accident occurred has just handed
in report to the stockholders, showing that
the accident resulted ia loss to the cor
poration of $4,000, including personal
damages, the destruction of cars and en-
gineS and the cost of all requirements.
These figures naturally convinced the stock
holders that it was not wise to risk another
such an expensive episode and they accord
ingly ordered better equipments and in
creased facilities and greater vigilance on
their line. Railway managers generally
would do well to give serious attention to
this matter, and it can be studied to ad-
vantage by some lines in this section of the
country. 1t is cheaper to prevent accidents
than to pay the damages resulting from
them.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Gov. Reynolds TAX His Own Life,
Fearing That He Might q Crazf.

ST. LOUIS, March 30.-HOn. Thomas e.
Reynolds committed suicide at the custom
house this afternoon by plunging down the
elevator shaft from the third floor He
fell distance of eighty feet and crushed
in his skull. The cause of the rash act was
mental derangement superinduced by hal
lucinations that he was about to become in
sane. A few minutes before o'clock he
entered the building and sauntered into the
United States court room. Several persons
met him in the building and he appeared in
his usual humor. He was seen to leave the
United States marshafs office and stepping
into the elevator gate passed out of view.
A few minutes later he was brought out of
the sub-basement dead. In his pocket was
found letter to his wife, stating that two
years ago he contracted malaria at Aspin-
wall and had failed to recover, the disease
settling on his spine. Recently he has been
troubled by insomnia and frequently by
nervousness. Visions invited him to Join
his dead friends, and fearing lest he should
be burden to his wife by becoming a lu-
matte, having twice before been troubled
with dementia, and his estate of 5000. 900
being in order. unimpaired and productive,
he determined to end his life Thomas C.
Reynolds was born in Charleston, S, c., in
1921. He studied in the University of
Harvard and continued his education in
Germany, graduating at Heidelberg in 1912.
He spent one year in the University of
Paris and was admitted to the bar in Vir-
ginia in 1914. He was secretary Of the
United States legation to Spain 1916 and
1S4S. In 1850 he located in st. Louis and
from 1858 to 1857 was United States dis
trict attorney. In 1860 he was elected
lieutenant governor of Missouri Oh the same
ticket with the famous Claib Jackson, and
in the civil war sided with the Confed-
crates. At the close Of the war he went to
Mexico and became very intimate with
Macmillan. In 1868 he returned to ST.
Louis. He was member of the commits
sion sent to South America about two years
ago in the interest of commerce with the
United States. In 1854 he fought duel
with b. Gratz Brown at thirty feet with
rifles over political dispute. Mr.. Brown
was hit in the knee, but Mr.. Reynolds was
not touched. Gov. Reynolds was married
twice and leaves his second wife, whom he
married three years ago, ali his property

However much certain individuals may
be Inconvenience by that feature of the
interstate commerce law which prohibits
the issuing of free passes, the railroad COM
panies are certainly to be congratulated
upon their freedom from an abuse which
has been all enormous tax upon them. An
estimate based upon reliable data obtained
from representative lines of the country
fixes the aggregate loss to transportation by
reason of the growth of the free pass sys-
TEN at S45. 1000, 600 per annum. This is a
startling revelation to those who were not in
position to know the extent to which the
abuse of the flee pass system prevailed, and in
the face OF these figures we are not surprised
that so many railroad companies have been
drifting toward bankruptcy. One railroad
estimates its free passes as representing a
traffic of $1,000, 600 a year. A recent
investigation into the official abuse of the
free pass system at Washington developed
the fact that the government has been pay
ing not less than $780, 900 annually in the
way of railroad fares for public officials
who pocketed the money and travelled on
their free passes. There were a few in
stances unearthed where officials who OBJ
aimed free passes from the railroad COM
panieS on various preteXts and then sold
them. 1t must be great relief to the rail-
road companies to be relieved of this enor-
NOUS tax which was levied upon them in
many instances as a species of blackmail.
while in Others it was voluntarily assessed
by the railroad companies upon themselves
as a corruption fund. The promptness
manifested by the railroad companies in
not only recognizing this feature of the
new law. but in anticipating it. by recalling
all passes before it gets into operation,
shows that they appreciate its benefits to
themselves. If in the beginning the rail-
road companies had known to what abuses
the free pass system would have been
brought they would never have inaugurated
it. Although fully conscious of its burthen
they found themselves unable of their own
effort to abolish it after it had once been
established. The law now steps in and
does for them what they were unable to do
for themselves. The railroads should extend
a hearty cooperation to the interstate
commission in etfectually roofing out this
such widespread Generalization. The ONLY
mistaken feature of the law is that which
iiscriminates in favor of ministers of the
gospel. This provision was inserted out of
respect to the holy calling which they rep
resent, but it was mistaken sentiment.
There should have been no exception If
the churches are not able to pay the tryel-
ing expenses of their ministers, then let
them be kept at home. They have no more
claim on the cOurtesies of railroad than
other people. If the railroad companies
want to help the preachers along let them
send in check, just as they would for any
other donation. And then when tine preach
ars want to ride over the roads let them put
up the money for the fare. just as they
would for grocery OF a butcher bill. This
S getting to be great nation of deadheads
and it is time to put an end to it.

CHALLENGE FROM NORTON.
He Explains the Coal Situation and
His Own Position.

To the Editor of the Globe:
/ see in your issue of the Both the paragraph
from Charles Wales under the gulse of the
coal and wood exchange. 1t is true have
been member of the coal and wood exchange
Its true have rebeed against that exchange
for appropriating part Of my own money to
pay spies to trump up false evidence against
me. There has been $500 paid out of that
association to Rufus Roberts and the
lawyer of the Pioneer Fuel company
to pay to trump up evidence
used for the punis hment of one of its mem
bers. 1t is true that have refused to pay a
tine that has been imposed upon me by the
coal exchange on the evidence of q spy that
was sent in TO my Office to buy three tons of
coal. It's true sold him three tons of coal
at 81 ton, which my receipt shows to have
been received, and the full amount to have
been paid and receipted. After explanations
the word of the spy was taken in preference
to mine, but don't wonder at this. 1t ap-
pears that was 10 be punished anyhow by
Charlie Wales and his gang. l have to
say right here that L don't do bust
ness to suit Charlie Wales. but to my own
best interests; if had done business TO suit
Charlie Wales would have been out of BUSH
ness long ago. Charlie Wales never consults
me about the way he runs his business. I
run mine TO suit myself, and it's none OF his
business or anybody elses. He further
states that all the coal dealers of the city
were present except myself. | will say that
was false. There was one-third of the most
respectable members absent last night as
they are disguised with the way the coal ex-
change is run. If it takes SI.3u0
to run the coal and wood exchange a
year and had to take a collection last night of
$50 to further pay the expenses of the ex-
change, it is no wonder that many of the
members of the exchange feel disgusted
The exchange is now at the dictation of Char
lie Wales and his friends; they have taken
this method of shutting me out for fear l
should ask for an explanation of this enor-
nous expense In regard to my getting sup
piled from wholesale dealers-he tried that
before, two years ago, and he got slipped up
on 1t. When he was out of coal had plenty
and well again; as regards the city coal,
the city does not owe q dollar but
what it is willing to pay. l guess he
means the school coal, after the board of
education examined the matter clever days
and failed to make report, and two out of
three reported they received all the coal they
bargained for, and the evidence of the three
janitors that they received ali the coal. Now,
Mr.. Editor, have taken up too much of your
valuable space. All that / have said am
willing to substantIate. If Charlie Wales
wants any more controversy about this mat
ter am willing to meet him and give him all
he wants. l stand responsible for all l have
said in the matter in every sense of the word

THELossEs GENERAL.

A good many papers, commenting upon
the severe winter just past, have with singu-
lar unanimity declared that it has been al
most the death of the stock industry in
Montana. and that but few herds have sur
vived without almost total annihilation
Why their attention should have been d.
rected chiefly to Montana can not be under
stood. but nevertheless it has been so.
Pretty careful inquiry developes the fact
that the losses have been no greater In
Montana then IN any other portion of the
great grazing country, which extends from
the British possessions OH the north, to the
Rio Grande border on the south. There
has been general and extensive loss.
Even in Texas the percentage has
equalled that in Montana. In fact
Montana seems to have escaped much
better than several of her neighbors. 1t is
unjust that she should have been singled out
for attack, and it will probably be discovered
that her stockmen will be the first to re-
cover from the winters severity. 1t is the
opinion of many conservative cattle men
that the losses have been grossly exagger-
